Put your cards on autopay, pay down your full statement balance every month, keep your oldest card open and use it occasionally (long history). Personally I only apply for ~1 card/yr when I’m churning (<2 over 24 months is “excellent”). When cancelling cards when you have multiple at one bank, ask them to combine your credit lines into the card you keep vs just closing one. Revise your income with your cards and if it’s free to raise the limits, do so, which will reduce your balance as a % or credit.

Hi Everyone,

Need some inputs before making an important decision.
I have offer from Cognizant and they are promising that next quarter they will initiate my Canada visa. They are giving assurance when I spoke to them over call. Also, my current employer Accenture is also saying the same to retain me. Can I believe Cognizant? Also, Canada onsite is best in which company - Accenture or Cognizant. Please suggest based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!
